I would obviously script the desktop part, commit it to my +`rcfiles repo <https:/www.shore.co.il/git/rcfiles>`_ and have it run on startup. +As a security/ privacy concern, I plannedd on keeping the full URL private. So +I shelved it until I would have a proper secret management system in place for +such things. + +A few months went by and I remembered that project and started to play around +with receiving such messages but sending them from a webpage. The outcome is +`shore.co.il/spam <https://www.shore.co.il/spam>`_. I'm annnouncing this on my +blog as I'm actually interested to see if I get any spam this way. The desktop +side of things is in this `rcfiles commit +<https://www.shore.co.il/git/rcfiles/commit/?id=b9732647fe865e9fc7c225b26adb6275ee435a94>`_ +and the source for web page is in my `blog commit +<https://www.shore.co.il/git/blog/commit/?id=b99513ebadc5f39c77d109597804b76b79e5a2c0>`_, +both are quite public. + +There isn't something technically interesting here (apart from Patchbay). But +the experiment aspect is interesting to me. I would like to see who reads my +blog and will send me messages (hopefully interesting ones). I'm not going to +advertise this in any other way. And I would like to see if I get any spam as a +result of this blog entry or from having the URL public in my Git repos. I'll +post an update in a few weeks with initial results.
